Ain't nothing out here but me, the road and the radio
Looking for an exit, and a song that I might know Counting down the memories, and adding up the miles Searching for a feeling, I ain't felt in a while Clarity and inspiration Happiness is a destination that's hard to find It may take some time But in my mind there's something more And I'll open up a brand new door And find the strength to close the ones I left behind And I'll get there leanin' on some friends I know The road and the radio Spent the night in Carolina, got up early out of bed Bought a Red Bull and a road map, and a old Stones cassette Setting my sights south bound, no reason or rhyme Threw up a prayer just lookin', just lookin' for a sign And some clarity and inspiration Happiness is a destination that's hard to find It may take some time But in my mind there's something more And I'll open up a brand new door And find the strength to close the ones I left behind And I'll get there leanin' on some friends I know The road and the radio In my mind there's something more And I'll open up a brand new door And find the strength to close the ones I left behind And I'll get there leanin' on some friends I know The road and the radio The road and the radio The road and the radio Mmmm-mmm-mmm The road and the radio The road and the radio Mmmm-mmm-mmm |

The body's a temple, that's what we're taught
I've treated this one like an old honky-tonk Greasy cheeseburgers and cheap cigarettes One day they'll get me if they ain't got me yet 'Cause I'm living, in fast forward A hillbilly rock star out of control I'm living, in fast forward Now I need to rewind real slow My friends all grew up, they settled down Built nice little houses on the outskirts of town They work in their office, drive SUV's They pray for their babies and they worry 'bout me 'Cause I'm living in fast forward A hillbilly rock star out of control I'm living in fast forward Now I need to rewind real slow I'm always runnin' Son of a gunnin' I've had a good time it's true But the way I've been goin' It's time that I toned it Down just a notch or two Oh yeah Well I'm living, in fast forward A hillbilly rock star out of control I'm living, in fast forward Now I need to rewind real slow Well I'm living, in fast forward A hillbilly rock star out of control I'm living, in fast forward Now I need to rewind real slow Yeah I need to rewind real slow Yeah I still got some miles to go |

Sunny days seem to hurt the most
I wear the pain like a heavy coat I feel you everywhere I go I see your smile I see your face I hear you laughin' in the rain I still can't believe you're gone It ain't fair you died too young Like the story that had just begun But death tore the pages all away God knows how I miss you All the hell that I've been through Just knowin' no-one could take your place Sometimes I wonder, who you'd be today Would you see the world, would you chase your dreams Settle down with a family I wonder what would you name your babies Some days the sky's so blue I feel like I can talk to you An' I know it might sound crazy It ain't fair you died too young Like the story that had just begun But death tore the pages all away God knows how I miss you All the hell that I've been through Just knowin' no-one could take your place An' sometimes I wonder Who you'd be today Today, today, today Today, today, today Sunny days seem to hurt the most I wear the pain like a heavy coat The only thing that gives me hope Is I know I'll see you again some day Some day, some day, some day |

Every now and then, I get a little lost
My strings all get tangled, my wires all get crossed Every now and then, I'm right up on the edge Dangling my toes, out over the ledge I just thank God you're here 'Cause when I'm a bullet shot out of a gun 'Cause when I'm a firecracker comin' undone Or when I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy No matter where my reckless soul takes me Baby you save me It's hard lovin' a man, that's got a gypsy soul I don't know how you do it, I'm not sure how you know The perfect thing to say, to save me from myself You're the angel that believes in me, like nobody else And I thank God you do 'Cause when I'm a bullet shot out of a gun When I'm a firecracker comin' undone When I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy No matter where my reckless soul takes me Baby you save me Well I know I don't tell you nearly enough That I couldn't live one day, without your love When I'm a ship tossed around on the waves Up on a high wire that's ready to break When I've had just about all I can take Baby you, baby you save me When I'm a bullet shot out of a gun When I'm a firecracker coming undone When I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy No matter where my reckless soul takes me Baby you save me |

Well I've been lost, in this town
Even though I know, my way around Didn't take me long until I found, the devil With just one word, I knew his voice Is the one I heard, in every choice I made Just trying to be, a rebel In a small town, in a small town If you jumped off, of our front porch You'd land right where, the Civil War was fought And it's never been, forgotten It's twenty miles, to the interstate There's a Burger King, and a Motel 8 And the only thing between here and there, is cotton And Jeffrey prays to Jesus, asking him please just help us through one more day Jenny gets high she, wastes her life but, me I just ran away From a small town, from a small town Sometimes it was heaven, sometimes hell Kinda like church, kinda like jail There's a water tower says, 'Welcome to nowhere' As soon as I could, I was long gone My jeans were torn, and my hair was long Now I can't believe, I wanna go back there To a small town, to a small town Jeffrey prays to Jesus, asking him please just help us through one more day Jenny gets high she, wastes her life but, me I just ran away But I knew I'd come back some day To a small town, to a small town Oh to a small town, to a small town Wo-woo Wo-woo Wo-woo Wo-woo Oh, to a small town |

Starin' out into the wild blue yonder
So many thoughts to sit and ponder 'Bout life and love and lack of And this emptiness in my heart Too old to be wild and free still Too young to be over the hill Should I try to grow up But who knows where to start So I just sit right here and have another beer in Mexico Do my best to, waste another day Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico Let the warm air melt these blues away Sun comes up and sun sinks down And I seen 'em both in this tourist town Up for days in a rage Just tryin' to search my soul From the answers and the reasons why I'm at these crossroads in my life And I really don't know Which way to go So I just sit right here and have another beer in Mexico Do my best to, waste another day Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico Let the warm air melt these blues away Maybe I'll settle down, get married Or stay single and stay free Which road, I travel is Still a mystery to me So I'll just sit right here, have another beer in Mexico Do my best to, waste another day Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico Let the warm air melt these blues away Down in Mexico |

People always tell me their life story
Love they've lost, their taste of glory He sat next to me at the counter in the diner Said I used to be Wall Street but this is much finer Oh yeah He had a leather look on a steel horse Harley And a dark-eyed girlfriend he called Charlie He looked a little lost walkin' out the door But I think I knew what he was lookin' for Freedom, sweet freedom I gassed 'er up, climbed back in my cab To my wife I'm a husband, to my kids I'm a dad To the credit card companies I'm just another sucker To the IRS, a long-haul trucker Mmmm yeah Some say that freedom's the power to do what one pleases You can live like the devil or hold on to Jesus I found the one thing I was born to do And girl that's why I'm runnin' back to you Freedom, sweet freedom He climbed up in my truck with his green duffel bag I knew he was a soldier 'cause I saw his dog tags We talked about it, we cried about it Then a steel horse Harley came roarin' on past I knew it was Charlie hangin' on real fast We talked about it, we laughed about it Through the joy and pain that living brings Don't we all want the same thing Freedom, sweet freedom It's what the junkie needs that the needle can't give The oppressed and forgotten are praying for it It's what the brave and courageous are fightin' for An open sail on a distant shore Freedom |

South of the border, American dollars
Take you a long long way Beach side bungalows, sand between your toes Nobody knows your name There's a worm at the bottom of a bottle That's well within my reach And the heart that you broke, will soon be a joke As soon as he and I meet Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Forgettin's cheap in Mexico She'll be there waiting And she won't say no Tequila loves me even if you don't Madam Tequila's, a fine senorita All my compadres concur She won't lie, she won't leave, in your hour of need So we're raising our glasses to her They say Vamos a echar un trago It means drink it all down 'til you see The bottom of the glass and it's kickin' your ass Boys, the next round's on me Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Forgettin's cheap in Mexico She'll be there waiting And she won't say no Tequila loves me even if you don't Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Forgettin's cheap in Mexico She'll be there waiting And she won't say no Tequila loves me even if you don't Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Forgettin's cheap in Mexico She'll be there waiting And she won't say no Tequila loves me even if you don't Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh |

Same ol' bedroom floor
Same ol' empty sheets I hate this haunted bed So down here's where I sleep Tryin' to find a place To hide what you have left Some things never change My heart hasn't yet Well I don't wanna go out tonight Yeah but I can't be alone Standing underneath this broke streetlight Can't somebody take me home Can't somebody take me home The hope that we had left Wrapped around your ring That river just rolled on by When I watched it sink Well I don't wanna go out tonight Yeah but I can't be alone Standing underneath this broke streetlight Can't somebody take me home Can't somebody take me Out of this bar Out of this heartache Out of this town That just keeps breakin' down Keeps breakin' down Well I don't wanna go out tonight Yeah but I can't be alone Standing underneath this broke streetlight Can't somebody take me home Well I don't wanna go out tonight Yeah but I can't be alone Standing underneath this broke streetlight Can't somebody take me home Can't somebody take me home Won't you take me home |
